I want to preface this post with a statement of intent - it is not my intent to start any sort of edition war or argument about which system is better. In fact, the only real reason I'm mentioning edition numbers is for ease of reference. I also need to mention that I'd like to resolve this...

Well, maybe not an actual alignment change... but I have an idea that in the future I'd like to have one of the PCs get captured by an evil faction, and be coerced into helping them do something nefarious for a session or two until the other PCs rescue them. Basically, I had an established evil...

I assume the combat advantage granted by the Wintertouched feat still only effects the triggering PC, and not the other characters? I haven't kept up with all the errata and changes, so I don't know if Wizards decided this works differently or not.

First real experiment making an NPC for 4e. This is the soulless guy I posted about on the other thread in 4e Rules; he's based off a shadar-kai assassin with some extra powers, I tried not to make any crazy powers since the PCs are still fairly low-level. I gave him elite hit points - my...

So, I have an NPC appearing in my version of the Shadowfell who was afflicted by what I call the Oblivion Wind. I'm thinking I might try to make a monster theme out of this, as it's easily possible for more than one to exist. Basically, he's sort of hollow (think Sayid as he is on Lost now...

Last night we were (finally) creating at least some of our characters for our 4e campaign: so far we have an eladrin swordmage, a gnome bard, and a dragonborn warden. Another player will likely be a ranger, and another likely some sort of dragonborn defender-class. So yeah, we've got a lot of...

Is there really any reason I need to worry about these? Since 4e came out, I haven't really dug the whole enforced level of magic items (and generally the 4e treasure system in general, really). Would eliminating the level of items and giving things out by tier (I'm still thinking of doing...

Would it unbalance things horribly if I organized 4e powers into a number of Rolemaster-esque lists, similar to the 3e domains? I was thinking of subdividing these into heroic, paragon, and epic tier powers, and making some more powers to round out the number of powers per list. I'm also...

Would it upset things horribly if I were to dropkick the 4e classes and substitute in the way classes work in SW Saga? Off the top of my head, I'd think it would be OK, although I admit that I'm not the best at thinking things through the whole way. I just really dislike the endless powers and...

So, I've been chatting with a guy at work who's fairly into this system. I've also been checking out some of the rulebooks. Looks and sounds fairly interesting, like something I wouldn't mind giving a shot. However, it looks horribly complicated. Is it, or are those mostly optional rules I...

What's Wizards' current web policy/guidelines/whatever? Could I call a primordial a primordial or would I need to come up with other names? What about Wizards-created terms, like eladrin? I can't make heads nor tails of the GSL, and I think that's just for publishers, anyway.

What modifications would I need to make to balance the game for a single player? I'm thinking of likely running a mini-game (single dungeon) for my fiancee, getting her through 1st and 2nd levels, and then meeting up with the other PCs to launch into the main campaign. I've already figured I...

The dragonborn of my homebrew gain miscellaneous powers and features based on their descent. Note that not all dragonborn receive these feats: in fact, few except those from New Arkhosia do. Apepi Prerequisites: Dragonborn, level 1 only Effect: You are descended from the serpent Apep. You...

Just a heads up to the mods that my old custom title thingy from years ago still displays under my name. Just letting you know, it's nothing big but still, just trying to be honest here. ;) I shoulda posted on this a while ago, but never did.

From the previews for Dark Knight, the shot in which a profiled Batman is standing atop the ruins of some building or other, his head down. Not sure if this is the right forum, but tis close enough, methinks.

I saw the 3e-4e conversion guidelines on your site, but they only cover CRs 21+. Do you happen to have a similar document worked up for the lesser CR monsters? Also, wanted to let ya know that the extended damage charts on there point to the conversion chart, not the damage. Just an FYI.

Last week, I was at my second appointment with a neuro-ophthamologist to get the results of an MRI I had to check into a possible problem with my eye. Said eye problem turned out for the best, and the doctor couldn't find any internal brain problems. He figures that, as there undeniably is...

They're not called hedgehog-folk -- in fact, vote above on what their name should be as I have two potentials. Here's the write-up. A rogue sort of race, maybe I'll even remove halflings completely and replace them with these guys. Average Height: 5'1"-5'4" Average Weight: 110-120 lbs...

Here, I've attempted a conversion of the Athach to get myself used to creature creation. Do Initiative, AC, Fort/Ref/Will get modified according to ability? Maybe I'm stuck in 3.5. I can't find the place in the book where it addresses this. Athach Level 14 Brute Huge natural humanoid...
